Why I'm not quitting my day job to be a dog catcher...

Apr 06, 2007 23:47

Grr...after a long day at work today all I really wanted to do was sit outside & enjoy the warm weather, perhaps go for a bike ride, whatever...somehow chasing my dog around the neighborhood for an hour & a half after she escaped from the backyard was NOT in my Friday evening master plan...:( You'd think that fat little miniature pinschers can't run very far on their short squatty little legs, but I ended up racing through about 15 backyards in Homestead trying to catch her...in HEELS, nonetheless! Needless to say, I was not a happy camper when I got home, and my feet hurt like hell. The irony in all this, however, is that the whole dog chasing escape took place only two days after the Lynden Tribune had a huge editorial article on how dogs running loose & pooping in people's yards is some huge problem in town here (can you tell I live in a small town if this is the "big news" of the week???)...some example I'm setting for the community, I guess...:(
